Hehe, Femme Fatale is the best of her tracks but All Tomorrow's Parties makes me want to smash speakers 🙂

VU, really? Even those crappy Nico songs? *shudder*

I'm a firm believer that the Beatles are the greatest band to have ever been hugely popular - be it either rock, soul, blues, etc. Nobody has matched their creativity and changed the face of modern music like them. The Stones were great at several points in their 100 year career but their refusal to die has disappointed me.
The Beatles? Yeah, as a group they are a contender.

Paul McCartney by himself is a dumbass.

Let's go back to the halftime show 2001 Super Bowl.

U2's was amazing.

OTOH, Paul sang his stupid "Freedom, talkin' 'bout Freeeeeeeeedom"
over and over. Now it was obvious to anyone who has played guitar or sang for an audience that he was faking the whole damn thing. Hell, half the time he forgot to actual hit the strings.

Looked like a typical washed up pop star sucking up to the American market.

You make a good point, telerion. Paul is definitely not who he was in the 60s. He should have left when it was John's turn...

Even if you don't care for their particular style, you still have to admit that U2 is tops.

When you consider their attitude, the work Bono's done to fight AIDS, the bands political message, the fact that they always play live, etc.

I watched SNL last night, where U2 proved once again that they are the coolest rock band ever.
Led Zeppelin! Need I say more?😀

I was sorry to hear that Old Dirty Bastard died recently. Does anybody know what happened?

Yes, Led Zeppelin do deserve mad props. If it was you who mentioned Lynyrd Skynyrd a while ago, I hereby express my contempt: 😴

Lynyrd Skynyrd was alright but, I preferred the Allman Brothers Band. I've been fortunate to have seen Pink Floyd, Eagles,Stones, Bowie, and many others. Queen and Jethro Tull also put on a kick ass concert.🙂

The Eagles?

Are you sure that wasn't a sleep-in?

If any of you LZ fans out there have yet to pyurchase the DVD box set then why the bleeding h*ll not? It has over 5 hours of live led zep footage and everytime I watch it I remember why I love these guys soooooo much, it is an absolute must for any LZ lover and even those who are lukewarm about them should be forced to watch it and change their minds 🙂

I don't think there's enough alcohol left in the world for the pickling process required 🙂
